a failure for Emmanuel Macron?

After the first round of the legislative elections, the “resurrection” wanted by Emmanuel Macron seems to have been slowed down at the gates of the National Assembly. “I think that indeed, despite everything we say and everything we hear as echoes from the Élysée since last night, we say that Emmanuel Macron was absolutely not surprised by the results. expected. I think he expected to scare himself, but not to this extent. It’s not a clap of thunder, nor a real failure, but it is a serious warning. One of the first pieces of information that I draw from this is that the En Marche machine, which has won everything and dominated permanently for five years, has suffered a real setback. They have made a great political mistake in believing that the Nupes and that this alloy around of Jean-Luc Mélenchon would not work and was going to create a lot of dissidence. It is clear that it worked at the ballot box”notes Saveria Rojek, journalist, political columnist, author of the book “Resurrection”, on the 23h set of franceinfo.

After winning everything, it feels a bit like a wall for En Marche. “Yes, five years ago the election of Emmanuel Macron symbolized both youth, novelty and dynamism. We see that five years later, things are being reversed and it’s more of this new coalition of Jean-Luc Mélenchon that there is novelty, youth and renewal (…) We have the feeling that at the start of his second term, Emmanuel Macron is not managing to find the starter to start with new energy”considers for his part Bruno Cautrès, political scientist, researcher at the CNRS and CEVIPOF.
